 I really do love Thai spices and figs. This recipe was inspired by quite a few people who have influenced me in my American adventures in Thai food — and the fact that there is an abundance of really good figs out and about in backyards and in the markets! The rice pudding brings out the fig’s sweet flavor, which really surprises me, because other than as a preserve, I really think of figs as a savory fruit. This dessert is a treat to the palate.

 Atlas Chef Jason Norris The power of a “thank you” resounds here at the Fish House—from our earlier blog entry introducing the Fish House Happy Hour bouquet by Fiore to a couple of our employees who have received the sweetest notes from our guests.
This month, we received an e-mail from a nice lady, Michelle Murray, who was very appreciative of our staff—in particular, Chef Jason Norris, who accommodated her meal request. We aim to please when folks decide to visit us. We appreciate all of the kind words and, more important, thank you so much for coming to see us. Jason is a wonderful chef and all around nice guy. Try out his recipe for some killer Chili con Carne with Black Bean & Cilantro Cream! (more…)

The what, why, and huh? of food.
Okra. Okra? Okra!––One-note wonder of the vegetable world or platinum recording artist of the vegetable universe.
Last week we celebrated a coworker’s birthday by sitting down for lunch together. Chef Jim, as he is often inclined to do, traveled to Bailey’s Farmers Market earlier that day and bought what looked good to cook for our lunch. He bought what was in season and fresh—tomatoes and okra, roasting the tomatoes and stewing them with the okra.
When he presented the dish, some of the diners sort of looked around confused. It then became apparent that a few weren’t cool with okra. The discussion became all about okra, what in the heck is it anyway, and why would anyone eat it?

 It seems to me that the simplest of words in the English language have been too easily forgotten. While we move a mile a minute, we sometimes forget the importance that a “thank you” can hold. Two simple words can mean so many things, if said the right way, sincerely, in the correct context.
While we are on the subject of the English language, perhaps we should share that “no problem,” “not a big deal,” and “don’t worry about it” are not synonymous with “thank you.” The three first phrases indicate that time is up, there is no time left for a conversation. To look a person in the eyes and say a genuine thank you is invaluable.
Now that we have clearly decided that a thank you is necessary, what is the best way to go about it? Too often we open up the good ol’ e-mail and send a few small words of appreciation through cyberspace. Don’t get me wrong; I love e-mail! But, a thank you card or flowers mean so much more. It says that you have truly taken time out of your day to tell me thank you. Not only is saying thank you invaluable, it is crucial to make a thank you tangible.
Looking for a new and exciting way to say thank you? The Pensacola Fish House and local florist, Fiore, have partnered to offer The Fish House Happy Hour Bouquet. Dr. Derek Jones with the Medical Center Clinic recently received a Fish House Happy Hour Bouquet and truly enjoyed it. “What a unique and creative way to send a thank you! I’m hooked!” exclaimed Dr. Jones. This beautiful floral arrangement paired with free drink cards for The Fish House is a perfect way to say thank you in a unique and concrete way!

 One of the great things about traveling is experiencing the local cuisine. It really enriches the experience and allows the traveler to have an honest sense of the region’s people and food.
A lot of cities offer an event called Restaurant Week to highlight local chefs and their eateries. These events typically include a fixed-price menu with multiple courses that allows customers to try what the participating restaurants have to offer.
The Fish House, Jackson’s Steakhouse and Atlas Oyster House will team up August 10 – 14, 2010, to present the debut of Restaurant Week. Similar to events in cities all around the country, Restaurant Week is a culinary celebration that offers residents and visitors alike world-class dining at a great value.
“We created the GSRG Restaurant Week event to highlight Pensacola as a premier dining destination providing an opportunity to enjoy a special menu from each of our restaurants,” said Collier Merrill, President of the Great Southern Restaurant Group (GSRG). “With the current state of affairs here in Pensacola, this will give everybody another occasion to enjoy a great evening Downtown.”
Chefs from each restaurant will prepare a stellar three-course, fixed-price dinner menu utilizing the best in local and seasonal ingredients, showcasing their culinary expertise for $33.00 per person, per restaurant. Diners are encouraged to try each special menu at all three restaurants during Restaurant Week. Menus will be available at each restaurant Tuesday, August 10, through Saturday, August 14, beginning at 5:00 p.m.

 I just realized that I have less than a week left here at the Great Southern Restaurant Group. This realization has generated many emotions, or perhaps it is delirium, as I near my 10th hour in the workday. Either way, I am truly sad to wave goodbye to such a wonderful four months.
What is an internship and what is the point of one? Technically, the purpose of an internship is to gain hands-on experience in the field of work you are interested in pursuing. Realistically, in the field of public relations and marketing, there is a plethora of positions to shadow. Lucky for me, I sought a pretty fantastic one!
What I Thought Would Happen
To give you a background on how I came about interning with Shelley Yates at The Fish House would be the polite thing to do. (more…)

 photo:Muse Photography Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it’s finally happening. Yours truly, party planner extraordinaire, is taking the blissful dive into matrimony. You are all probably thinking how easy the planning of such an occasion might be for me, considering that is what I do!
Well, friends, if you think that, you would be wrong. Okay, so yes it is easy for me to know who is going to make my cake and who is going to do my flowers. I have seen lots of work done by the amazing women none other than Shannon Pallin from Fiore and Betty Weber who makes the best cakes in town. Catering, of course, will be taken care of by the masterful chefs here at the Fish House (we’re keeping all of the vendor venues local). Sounds like I have a pretty good plan, right?
Well, that isn’t the half of it. From booking the church to picking the wine and music, it can all get very overwhelming. Not saying it can’t be done, but the last thing a bride wants to worry about on her wedding day is whether the DJ shows (more…)
